Philadelphia ACEs Connection Meet-up: Talking ACEs with James Encinas

Come to this informal gathering at the Friends Center to meet others in the Philadelphia region who are interested in ACEs, trauma, resilliency, and creating a city that is truly trauma-informed. You will have the opportunity to discuss your work, share ideas, and plan future collaborations in a relaxed setting. Light refreshments will be served. RSVP here

The featured Guest is James Encinas, who has completed a cross-country bicycle trek to explore what brings resiliency for those who have experienced ACEs and trauma. James will be on hand to converse with everyone and share some of the stories that he has heard in his travels. James will engage with all of us in asking questions and exploring answers on this topic. James is a teacher by trade and is also looking to create an organization that will provide services through a trauma-informed lens to young men of color specifically, Latino/ African American males that are being tracked into the school to prison pipeline. 

Join us on the 26th and don't miss the opportunity to talk with your colleagues and contemporaries about all things ACEs.
